Roleplay Multiclass: Sorcerer

This is part of the Multiclass Series. For more base classes, click their title to visit their post. ﻿

In Dungeons & Dragons , you can play anything from a Half-Orc Sorcerer to a Halfling Rogue. However, for some people, that isn’t enough. That’s when we get into “Multiclassing”. Basically you decide that you want to be trained in two different classes, and become something new altogether.

Here are ideas for every multiclass. Sometimes you get the same character type regardless of which one you start with, but sometimes that can change the style from a narrative standpoint.

Credit where credit is due: PeteNutButter posted an excellent “Ultimate Optimizers Multiclassing Guide” on the Giant In The Playground forums. His guide did a lot of groundwork for this piece, as well as rank the new class-combos on a 6 point scale for how well the new class might workout in gameplay.

We won’t be going into Multiclassing rules, because you can find that yourself, but if something doesn’t make sense, ask your DM if you can just Homebrew it a little.

I also want to mention, that these are not all necessarily compatible in terms of abilities and power, these are more the narrative background to different multiclasses. Roleplay, not Roll Play.

From a young age, you have found yourself to be…talented. There is power in your blood, which essentially enables you to do whatever you want in life, but really, really well. The more you look into yourself, the more you are better at other tasks, but balance isn’t necessary. If anything, it’s just an edge to help you succeed.

You aren’t a hurtful person. You’ve known about your powers for a while, but that doesn’t mean it has corrupted you. In fact, you are an entertainer at heart. Sure you don’t have all of the background and training, but if they don’t know you don’t know, who are you really hurting? They get entertained, and you get paid. Win-Win.

Sorcerer – School of Enchantment

These powers aren’t your right just because you were born with them. They are a privilege. And like any privilege, you have to prove that you deserve them. So you do your duty to worship whichever god you believe to be responsible. It’s time your prove yourself.

Like the Fire Blood, you know that sometimes you need alternative methods for different situations. Your powers come in handy, sure, but they aren’t the end all be all. You aren’t based out of rage though. Instead this is a logistical decision. Just being prepared.

Fighter – Great Weapon / Two Weapon / Dueling & Eldritch Knight

Like the God Touched, you know that these powers are a gift, to be used in service of the god who gave them. But let’s be real, a lot of these powers are combat based, so your god clearly doesn’t want you to just be a healer, it’s time for you to fight for your patron. It’s the least you can do.

You’ve always gotten what you wanted, even if you haven’t always understood how. If you think about it though, you might as well keep practicing that skill, because if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well. Time to learn some tricks of the trade.

Warlock – Pact of the Tome

You have a natural talent for magic, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to continue studying it. This is amazing, and you were literally born to do it! You will go down this rabbit hole until you have learned everything you can.
